1) No that would not be wrong.
2) Instead of short circuiting, after listening and validating. "I’ve decided against going to the Retrouovaille. I feel that it would just be going through the motions at this point. I’m going to start individual counseling on my own. A lot has happened and I need help processing it so I can heal and move forward." (Oh, and then start going to IC!)
3) Don't do #3.
